The report of the First Presbyterian
Church, Washington, which has just
been made to the congregation, shows
that the presence of the President and
his wife as members of the church has
increased the revenues of the church
$500 during the past year The report
also shows that while the presence of
the President has done something for
the church, the church likewise has
tried to make the President comfort
able. Among the items for expenses
was money paid for new cushion for
the Presidents pew and foot-stools for
the same place. New hymnals were
placed in the pew for the use of Mr..

CATION think they have done their duty
to the Chief Magistrate and his wife.

IDENTIFYING PRISONERS IN France
The latest method of identifying prison.
ers, which has been. introduced into
France by Alphonse Bertillon, and which
is now successfully practiced not only in
the chief French prisons but in Russia and
Japan as well, is the exact measurement OF
the prisoner on his arrival at the Jail. His
waist the length and width of the head,
the left middle finger the left foot, the out
stretched arms, the three other fingers of
the left hand, the left arm from the elbow
to the wrist, and the length and width OF
the ear are measured, and the color of the
eyes and any particularities are noted
down. A photograph is also Immediately
taken, and by these means the many mis-
takes which have been made by trusting to
photographer only are avoided. The fact
that during the two years since this
mode has been in operation S26 habitual
criminals who presented themselves under
an assumed name, have been identified in
France, shows that NJ Bertillon's method
is superior to any other.

THE New PHILOSOPHY OF CURE The
progress of medical and biological knowl-
edge steadily tends to reduce disease to
negation or detect, and the remedial pro-
cess to simple restoration of vital force.
Given a being possessed naturally, or SUI
pernaturally, of a sufficient iiupartable sur
plus of vitality (whateyer that may be) and
it is now generally understood that there
would he nothing miraculous, in the sense
of being inconsistent with the laws of ma
ture, in the healing of any disease by the
touch or even the will of such being. 1t is
now undisputed that miracles OF this kind,
in small way. are daily performed by per-
sons of abnormal nervous power. Even
the germs of pestilence that enter the blood
are understood to be negativein their oper-
alton, by disintegrating devouring and dis
placing the constituents of the vital fluid.
Carbonic acid, it is said, asphyxiates by dis
placement of oxygen, the same as water or
an air-pump. There are various palliatives
and diversions of morbid symptoms which
are of local, temporary or provisional
utility; but as the real disease. however
localized, is privation of vitality at bot
tom, so the real cure is, as the London
Lancet says, in the re-establishment of
health-in other words, of vitality-tbrough
the displacement of insanitary by sanitary
conditions.

The "Barren victory" of chiciSamauga.

The "Barren Victory" of Chickamauga.
From Confederate General D. II. Hills
account of the battle of Chickamauga we
take this conclusion But whatever blum
ders each of us in authority committed be-
fore the battles of the 10Th and Goth Chick
amauga), and during their progress, the
great blunder of all was that of not pursu-
ing the enemy on the 2lst. The day was
spent in burying the dead and gathering up
captured stores. Forrest with his usual
promptness, was early in the saddle, and
saw that the retreat was g rout. Disorgan-
lied masses of men were hurrying to the
rear; batteries of artillery were inextricably
mixed with trains of wagons disorder and
confusion pervaded the broken ranks strug-
Cling to get on. Forrest sent back
word to Bragg that every hour was worth
thousand men, The COMMANDMENT
Chief did not know of the victory
until the morning of the 2lst, and
then he did not order a pursuit. Rose
Grams spent the day and the night of the
Dist in hurrying his trains out of town.
A breathing space was allowed him /;
the panic among his troops subsidized, and
Chattanooga--the objective point of the
campaign-was held. There was no more
splendid fighting in 81, when the flower OF
the Southern youth was in the field. than
was displayed in those bloody days of Sep
TENDER, '63. But it seems to me that the
elan of the Southern soldier was never seen
after Chicamauga that brilliant dash
which had distinguished him on hun
bred fields was gone forever. He was too
intelligent not to know that the cutting in
two of Georgia meant death to all his
hopes He knew that Longstreet's absence
was imperiling Lees safety, and that what
had to be done must be done quickly. The
delay to strike was exasperating to him
the failure to strike after the success was
crushing to all his longings for an indie
pendent South. He fought stoutly to the
last, but. after Chicamauga with the sui
lenness of despair and without the enthusi-
asm OF hope That barren victory sealed
the fate Of the Southern Confederacy."

THE GREAT CHICAGO DRAINAGE SCHEME.
"A bill is proposed to the Legislature of
Illinois, providing for the incorporation of
metropolitan districts with power to Dor
row money to supply water and to con-
struct drainage or sewage channels. The
primary object is to organize metropoli-
tan drainage district with Chicago as CEN
ter. this district to include Hyde Park, the
townships of Lake. Cicero, Jefferson, Lake
View, Evanston, Niles, Norwood Park,
Calumet, and parts of Lyons and Worth
townships The project contemplated is to
drain this district by means of channel
cut from Lake Michigan to the Illinois
river by the way of the Desplaines. The
plan is TO make this channel a
river of the capacity of a ship canal,
and by turning the pure water of the
lake into it, and by taking advantage of the
fall between the lake and the Illinois river,
create not only sewage channel, but a
channel for navigation and water power of
almost untold capacity. Ocean.

A feature of the strikes thus lar during
1887 has been found in the increase OF
sympathetic " strikes-the stopping from
work of employees of others than those
parties to the dispute, in order to force con-
cessions from the parties really IN interest
by disorganizing productive and distribut-
ing agencies. As may be seen from the
list of strikes given herewith, no fewer
than A, 900 employees struck in sympathy
with the 1000 New Jersey coal handlers
and Old Dominion Steamship Company
'longshoremen, although in no wise per-
sonally interested in those disputes. 1t is
also worthy of note that nearly $1,000 in

work within two months through inability
to secure coal or supplies of raw material
on account of strikes of others.

THE SNEEzING SPoT ON Our HEADs.-As
a representative of this paper sat in the
chair of a Maiden-lane barber the other
day, says the Albany Journal, the genial
artist of the brush observed that the jour
nalist sneezed when his hair was combed.
" Did 1 touch the sneezing spot?' inquired
the barber. He then proceeded to explain
that the "sneezing spot" was sensitive
place to the left of the middle of the fore
head. "Why," said he, there are men
who come in here who sneeze regularly
every time 1 comb their hair or shave them
Just as soon as the comb passes over that
spot had man in here yesterday who
sneezed three times lust as hard as he
could, all because l touched the sneezing
spot 1t must be very small nerve that
tickles the nostril." The editor of the
Mining and Scientific IresS adds to the above
the following Just so, my friend; that
is an example of sympathetic action be-
tween nerves; that comb irritated the
frown- causing nerve, and made the nerve
of smell to produce sneeze. This the
smelling nerve did by reflex action 1t is a
good example of sympathetic and reflex
action of nerves"
